Nantucket Bound!

We are officially heading to Nantucket next week!  A HUGE thank-you to favorite clients The Wolfs for providing the inspiration, guidance and the encouragement needed to make this fall getaway happen!
We presently have some fun things planned but are always appreciative of any insider advice…
We are staying are the darling Union Street Inn, a former whaling captain’s home that was voted “one of the 10 most romantic hotels in the US” by fodors.  Who doesn’t need some added romance?!
The inn is in the heart of Nantucket Town where we will be able to walk to shops and restaurants.  While we have a few dinner reservations made…
Any MUSTS you seasoned travelers recommend?
We will be exploring the island via bicycle, foot and moped.  

Any favorite sites and stops?

I am hopeful that I can convince J to get a pair of Nantucket Reds…and if he doesn’t succumb – perhaps this well-dressed chap will come home with me, instead:
Any other shopping recos?
I’ve been warned about the cobblestone streets and the hazards of foregoing flats.  I will also have to give my packing some serious thought as our flight schedule doesn’t allow for checked bags – ahh!  My pack-job will include the likes of worn polos, riding boots and sperry’s, striped tees, cable-knit sweaters, pearls and plaids. 

Will this suffice for autumn in nantucket?

Counting down the days…Can’t wait to report back!
